there's a snow about 12" high over my old house ("old" meaning i slept there last thursday). it's been there for a couple of weeks now. maybe more. it's fucking horrid.

It was warmest winter here until mid January, and now James Blonde finds himself in the middle of -15C, luckily not every day.

same here, where are you from, james blonde?


EDIT: oh, that almost rhymes...

Yesterday morning the temperature was around -22 °F. That's just fucking offending. Luckily the forecast says it's getting a bit warmer.

I was going to ask, are we all that ignorant of global warming?

Yes, we ARE all going to die.

My least favorite aspect of the cold is the unpleasant way in which it freezes the mucous in your nasal membranes, causing you to feel as though you have an unsightly strand of snot hanging out of your nose at all times. No fun, that.

On some perverse level I enjoy that.

Major coldness is kind of badass.
On a few levels I prefer it to heat/humidity.

Cold keeps the insects away. that's a plus.

Tipsy nose + harsh cold outside = makes James Blonde's walking at streets much funnier.
